What amount of suncreen should a person use on face and neck? And is it to be used even after 6 or 7pm when the sun is not present?? Does sunscreen protect from pollution as well??

Use 3gm per application over face and neck. Ideally apply once every 2 hours. There are few sunscreens which contain ingredients to protect from pollution.
